thanks for clearing that up for us, frank...
it's clear that google has gotten their legs under them in regard to doing the scanning. let's hope that they'll get their quality-control under control very soon too...
it is important to keep in mind that 100,000 books is <1% of the 10.5 million (or more) they'll do eventually; it's understandable if the process isn't up to speed yet.
I wonder how great a percentage of Google's six year plan will have to expire before Mr. Bowerbird will admit that it doesn't look as if Google is even trying to make it to 10 million in 6 years. My own projections show it taking about twice that long, if Mr. Bowerbird is correct, and they have indeed gotten their feet under them already. mh
